A Day with Host Family
|
|
Biasanya kami ke rumahnya di Yufuin cho....dah lama nak ke rumahnya di Oita city. Selepas beberapa kali tertangguh, hari Sabtu dua minggu lepas kami dapat meluangkan masa ke sana. Mila pun free masa tu. Enjoy...makan pun banyak.
Okasan teringin nak belajar masak tomyam...jadi kami masak beramai-ramai. Otosan kata rasanya lain sikit dari tomyam yang biasa dia makan di Thailand...jadi dapatlah gelaran tomyam Klang aji (Klang taste).
Okaasan pula masak ikan masak kicap Japanese style...oishiikatta.

Winter siries~Sehari di Kokonoe
|
|
 
Cuaca tak menentu akhir-akhir ini. Kalau tahun lepas masa ini salji masih lebat. Tapi tahun ini salji turun awal...cepat pula habisnya. Bila dengar berita ada salji esok hari, kami ke Kokonoe untuk menikmati salji terakhir tahun ini...
Anak-anak pula bukannnya sihat sangat...jadi sekadar nature watching dan main sori.

Aso's Surrounding
|
|
Gambar diambil sepanjang perjalanan dari Kuju ke Gunung Aso. Masa ni tiada lagi salji...keindahan padang ragut di kiri dan kanan jalan, jelas terbentang. Saujana mata memandang.

Finally....Naka Dake's crater
|
|
Mt. Aso is located in northwest of Kumamoto Prefecture. Naka Dake (inside Mt. Aso) is an active crater. It has produced more explosive eruptions than any other volcano in the world. It is said that most eruptions are small to moderate in size, only produced ash and blocks, not lava flows in historic time.
In old time, the people have respected it as a holy mountain and called the crater "shirei ike" (spirit lake) or "mi ike" (respectful lake). Each time explosion happened, they trembled with the fear of a god's anger or an evil spell. During our visit, we saw how they pray in front of the volcano's crater......chanting some sort of mantra.
| Quote: | Akhirnya...berjaya juga kami melihat kawah gunung berapi di Mt Aso selepas dua kali mencuba. Kali pertama tu angin kuat, kali kedua ada letupan kecil...merbahaya. Ini kali ke-3.
Masa sampai, asap tak tebal...kawah boleh nampak dengan jelas. Masa di Shiroyama (satu banjaran gunung menghadap Mt. Aso), tak nampak langsung asap. Apabila beralih mencari tempat yang lebih stratergik untuk ambil gambar...asap pula tebal. Cuaca hari ini juga tak berapa cerah...macam berjerubu. Bukan berjerubu akibat pembakaran hutan. Gabungan di antara udara sejuk dan cahaya matahari.
Mungkin ini perjalanan terakhir kami di Aso Kuju National Park sebelum balik Malaysia. Kawasan ini memang menarik sepanjang musim....banyak kenangan manis di sini.....our favourite place in Kyushu |

Yufuin Lagi...
|
|
Hujung minggu ke Yufuin...melawat keluarga angkat bersama Mila. Oleh sebab tahun baru semua sibuk dengan hal masing-masing, hari ni baru dapat berjumpa.
Tiada gambar baru yang istimewa, namun tempat ini tetap menjadi pilihan. Cantik pada pandangan, saujana mata memandang.
Kali ni tak turun pun kat pekan.
Parking banyak kosong. Pengunjung pun tak ramai. Cuaca sejuk. Tambahan pula ramalan bahawa salji akan turun lebat.

New Year's Day Celebration (Oshougatsu)
|
|
Traditionally in Japan, New Year's Day is celebrated for one week. From 1st January till the 7th.
While young people prefer to celebrate oshougatsu with their friends, many still enjoy it with families and relatives. This is the time when family and relative can get together after one year separated for many reasons...career, study and so forth.
| Quote: | | We went to Watanabi san's house to experience how New Year is celebrated here (called oshougatsu). Although it was a bit late, but still in a New Year's mood. |

Eid ul-adha in Ritsumeikan APU
|
|
As in other places around the globe, Eid ul-adha is also celebrated in APU. In the Student Hall.
Just a simple one. Start with takbir raya, congregation prayer of thanks, and then follow by little refreshment.
Not all came, as it was a class day.
| Quote: | | Hanna tak ada dalam gambar. Nak sangat ke sekolah. Kebetulan hari persekolahan baru bermula selepas cuti winter. |
